Went to a clinton/funkadelic show. Was about an hour and twenty minutes long. It was five or six songs. It was awesome. But I couldn't shake the feeling that I was missing some levels of the show on account of being too sober. When the show opens with a guy in a fur coat, pimp hat and a 15 inch nose dances while a Predator and Sam L Jackson in military garb wail away on guitar, while someone in a full neon yellow attire drums and the some guy comes out in a rain poncho while the backup singers dance in roller skates and... Ummmm... Where was I?

I used to book the Funkadelics, Freedie & Henchie, Soul Masters and the Sisters of Funk, and the ever loving, God-tripping master hissownself George Clinton and a bus that leaked smoke from every window.To name a few. Parliament would lay down a groove that made me fear for the mortar holding the bricks together in the walls. Waitresses didn't like funk shows. The crowd was so stoned they world forget to tip. Clinton was a damned decent man, quite the gentleman, but it was hell trying to hold his attention sometimes. (look, squirrel)

Loaf's Tray:Clemkadidlefark: I'll tell the story sometime of the night I electrocuted Tom waits.

Is THAT why he sounds like that?

We smply added some flavor to what was already there. Here's the interesting part (at least to me) ... when I picked him up at the airport (Stapleton), Waits was wearing the rumpled black suit, white shirt, too thin black tie, black brogans with no socks and a worn black Fedora. When I picked him up for sound check from his hotel he was wearing a rumpled black suit, white shirt, too thin black tie, black brogans with no socks and a worn black Fedora. For the show he was wearing a rumpled black suit, white shirt, too thin black tie, black brogans with no socks and a worn black Fedora. When I took him to the airport he was wearing that rumpled black suit, white shirt, too thin black tie, black brogans with no socks and a worn black Fedora. I have no idea what the simple ratty suitcase was for.
